Study Summary

Background: Satraplatin is an experimental drug that may be of benefit to patients with prostate cancer. Prednisone is approved for treating prostate cancer. The gene excision repair cross-complementing rodent repair deficiency complementation group 1 (ERCC1) helps repair cell damage caused by satraplatin. It is possible that patients who have a variant of this gene will not benefit from treatment with satraplatin because the drug will not be able to damage the cancer cells effectively. Objectives: To determine if satraplatin may help treat prostate cancer in patients with certain variants of the ERCC1 gene. Eligibility: Patients with advanced androgen-independent prostate cancer whose disease has not responded to hormonal therapy or at least one type of chemotherapy and whose x-rays, scans or other tests have shown their cancer to be spreading. Design: Participants have a blood test to determine if they have a variant of the ERCC1 gene. Participants take satraplatin by mouth every day for 5 consecutive days out of every 35 days and prednisone by mouth every day. These 35-day treatment cycles may continue for 6 months or longer, depending on the benefits and side effects of the treatment. During the treatment period, patients undergo the following tests and procedures: * Blood tests on days 1 of the treatment cycle. * Weekly blood draws for the first 3 treatment cycles. * Imaging studies (e.g., bone scans, computed tomography (CT) scans) every two cycles to determine the response to treatment. * Surgical or medical suppression of testosterone in patients whose cancer cells continue to grow due to exposure to the hormone....

Primary Outcome

Time between the start of therapy and progression. Progression is defined by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. Progressive Disease is at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions.
